Mirage: Metanoia - Prelude

2023 · 6m · Animation · Science Fiction

The first in a series that reconfigures and interrelates two parallel modes of inquiry into the nature of reality. Formatted as a Hanna-Barbera and early Disney animation short set in the distant future—moving images format that is frequently used as tools of science communication in the mid 20 century, it rehearses a conversation between two cosmologists about the presence of God in atoms. Particle physics and Malay-Indonesian Sufi metaphysics are brought together as different expressions of the same human endeavor to grasp the transcendental in the material. The film positions Western science as one methodology among many in a constellation of pluralistic worldviews.
